French Riots Spread Beyond Paris
Friday, November 04, 2005 PARIS — The chaotic riots that have gripped the suburban slums north of Paris for more than a week spread to more suburbs and other towns across France Thursday night.
In the Parisian region, Muslim youths from northern and sub-Saharan Africa torched over 400 cars, several large stores and more than two dozen buses parked at a depot.
In Trappes, to the west of Paris, 27 city buses parked at a depot were incinerated. Their burned-out shells stood in blackened rows Friday morning as police inspected the scene.
In Neuilly-sur-Marne (search), east of Paris, youths fired buckshot at riot police vehicles. In Stains, to the north, a group of 30 to 40 Muslim youths harassed police near a synagogue and a school classroom was partially burned, said Jean-Francois Cordet (search), a regional official.
French newspapers reported that on Wednesday night in Sevran (search), northeast of Paris, a bus carrying about 50 passengers was forced to stop at a flaming barricade and subsequently attacked by teenagers wielding Molotov cocktails.
Most of the passengers were able to escape, but one middle-aged disabled woman was caught in the flames and was seriously burned.
